Re: Lonnie and AF vs. Navy food
Idaho potatoes are (were) a major component of the Navy diet, so speak softly or never show your face around Rockford/Blackfoot/SE Idaho. Denise Austin is paid lots of bucks to say that they're nutritious and good for you.
We had AF pilots come out to the Nimitz in the aftermath of Desert Storm to get a decent meal. Chuck Norris also proclaimed our (Nimitz) food as wonderful. And that's without even starting on what sub sailors eat (yum!). Of course, now it's all contracted out except for shipboard, so the shore mess halls are now as bad as the AF. Boot Campers probably ARE choking on the pseudo-AF slop.
